Sony’s latest major exclusive Concord launched on August 23, and just 11 days later the publisher announced that the multiplayer shooter is shutting down. Sales of Concord were halted on September 3, and the servers will go offline on September 6 (two weeks after the game’s full launch) while developer Firewalk and Sony explore options and opportunities for the game’s future. Sony is refunding everyone.

Concord has had extremely low player counts on Steam (and presumably PS5 as well), with the game having sold an estimated 25,000 copies across all systems by the end of August. Despite the low player count, few could have predicted that Sony would make such a dramatic decision to halt sales, shut down the servers, and refund everyone after such a short period of time.

But is Concord’s situation unprecedented? The launch-to-closure timeline for Concord was very short. In fact, it may have been the fastest release-to-closure we’ve ever seen from a major studio (though, again, it’s possible Concord could return). But plenty of other games, including high-profile titles based on major IP, have launched and closed in relatively short periods of time over the years. Let’s take a look back at some other games that launched and closed unexpectedly quickly, or were otherwise forced to make major pivots to their business model.

As for Concord, the developers say they are evaluating their options and looking to “determine the best path forward.” Many are interpreting this as a sign that Concord could eventually return, possibly as a free-to-play title. Even if that does happen, many wonder what Concord could do to differentiate itself in an already crowded arena shooter market. Some believe that Concord is doomed and will not find success, even under a different model.

Either way, some games that launched poorly have gone on to be successful, so the book may not be closed for Concord just yet. Stay tuned to GameSpot for the latest.
